The 1/18 show that was scheduled for Hyderabad, India where Sony Six (WWE’s television partner) was bringing in WWE for a big live event to be built around the Indian talent and some of the other major stars, is now off.
The decision was made by Sony Six, which is merging with Zee in India, to hold off the show until the merger is finalized.
The merger is expected to go through in April, so the show would take place after April.
